First, the small aluminum bowl under the cup of fire is not a collector of ashes. It is a heat shield. This fireplace should not be used on a deck of wood or composite material. We have a brick patio and is safely used there.
Second, we live in (Central, OH), no need for a screen around your fireplace. Perhaps the most fire-prone areas would be a good idea, but then, if you have an open fire in these areas? My use of a screen is not useful or necessary and would only make it harder by adding fuel.
Third, the commentator who said that the chimney is too much smoke, which is green wood burns it produces smoke, not fire. I dry wood and that no smoke was much as expected.
Fourth, it is necessary to use the cover, but there is a great advantage to do so when the weather is cool: the cover for the direct heat down instead of letting all that go up quickly. In other words, more heat is kept at chair when you are sitting at the fireplace.
Fifth, the cover is actually extinguish the fire quickly. The lid is tight enough to smother the fire. That is a great advantage because it means you do not have to wait until the fire is extinguished itself to enter. Nor should we put out the fire with water to extinguish it. For this product, I recommend you do not do anyway unless you want to ruin the porcelain finish.
Sixth, it took about 30 minutes to assemble. Although the handles are of wood, heavy gloves are still needed to move the top of the form and move the elevator. I have the 2010 model and the handles are sturdy and solid.
